| Obverse description | Printed in red on cream paper, the obverse carries an oval portrait vignette of Sun Yat-sen at left, rendered in fine intaglio line work against an intricate guilloche underprint that fills the entire field. The bank title 廣東省銀行 appears in Chinese characters across the upper right, with the denomination 壹分 (1 Cent) displayed centrally in large characters within a radiating burst motif, flanked by two official seal impressions. The date inscription 中華民國三十八年 (Republic of China Year 38, i.e. 1949) runs along the lower border, with the printer's imprint 中華書局有限公司 at the bottom edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially unprinted, presenting the cream-coloured paper with a faint show-through of the obverse design visible by transparency. No distinct vignette or lettering is applied to this side, giving the note a plain, utilitarian appearance consistent with small-denomination emergency issues of the period. |
